Ryan NorrisCollege is a home away from home. If that is true, then why do some students treat it like a landfill?
The way that some of the bathrooms are taken care of is horrible. How hard is it to flush a toilet? All you have to do is push down a handle. It’s not rocket science. How long does it really take to flush? It takes two or three seconds at the most. Is it fair to the students that want to walk into a clean bathroom? The bathrooms have to be used by everybody in the hall. Have enough respect for the people in the hall and clean up the mess. It’s called common courtesy.
Leaving hair in the sinks and showers is extremely unsanitary. Students don’t want to get in the shower and come out with some else’s hair on their feet. Hair in the sink is just as bad or maybe even worse. It’s simple; if you shave at the sink, rinse it out! Nobody wants to wake up, go in the bathroom, and see somebody’s hair laying all over the sink they have to brush their teeth in. Why mess up the bathroom right after the cleaning people leave? That means that from about noon until 10 the next morning the bathrooms are torn apart.
The bathrooms are not where the trouble stops. Let’s not forget about the halls. A large number of trash always seems to settle in the dorms and the houses. It’s not uncommon to walk through the halls and slip over an empty bag of chips or trip over a half drunk bottle of Pepsi. Trash should be disposed of in a trashcan, not on the floor. We don’t live outside where if the wind blows the trash gets picked up, or a stray dog or cat will eat it. The trash has to sit until housekeeping comes in the morning.
Will the destruction ever stop? Some hallway rugs have gum and burn marks on them. Signs that show exits to the building are knocked down and just the lights remain. Not having the signs is dangerous, especially if an accident were to happen. Why knock them down and put people in a potentially hazardous situation?
Everything that is damaged in the residences halls and houses comes off of the housing deposits that are handed in to reserve spots to live on campus. That goes for everyone that lives in the building.
How fair is it for the cleaning people that have to come and clean the mess? Why should they have to do extra unnecessary cleaning? How does it make us look as college students? Is this the way we treat our own homes?
